Vietnam Press Museum receives valuable artifacts in Tuyen Quang

This is an activity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 - June 21, 2025) and to implement a plan to honor the Resistance Press in the Viet Bac Base (1946-1954).

The donated artifact is a printing machine called Platen Press, made in China, used to print newspapers and documents in Tuyen Quang province during the resistance war from the 1950s. This is a valuable artifact that plays an important role in the development of Vietnamese journalism in general and Tuyen Quang journalism in particular.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Do Quang Trung, Director of Tuyen Quang Printing and Service Joint Stock Company, shared: This printer has been preserved and maintained by the company for many years, and is now very happy to be transferred to the correct address, the Vietnam Press Museum. This printer is part of the system of printers serving the 2nd National Party Congress in Tuyen Quang.

Journalist Tran Thi Kim Hoa, in charge of the Vietnam Press Museum, said that collecting resistance newspapers and artifacts is one of the key tasks of the Vietnam Press Museum. This will contribute to supplementing the regular exhibition at the Museum and serving the open exhibition to welcome visitors to the national relic site of Huynh Thuc Khang Journalism School in Dai Tu district, Thai Nguyen, which the Museum is urgently restoring and embellishing.

Since its inception, the Vietnam Press Museum has received great support and encouragement from journalists, journalists' families, journalists' associations at all levels, press agencies and many press audiences across the country. Each artifact and document received, which are inherently valuable spiritual assets preserved in agencies, units and personal collections, are now officially handed over to the Vietnam Press Museum.

“On this occasion, the Vietnam Press Museum would like to express our deep respect and gratitude for the support of the leaders of Tuyen Quang province, the Tuyen Quang Provincial Journalists Association and Tuyen Quang Printing and Service Joint Stock Company. We promise to preserve and widely introduce these press heritages to the public at home and abroad,” shared journalist Tran Thi Kim Hoa.
